Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spray an 8×8 ceramic baking dish with cooking spray. Set it aside.
  • Boil a pot of water and cook the spirali pasta according to the package directions.
  • Drain off the water using a colander and drizzle the pasta with a very light coating of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set it aside.
  • Meanwhile, add the cream cheese to the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Next, add the diced shallots, pesto, chopped garlic, olive oil and salt.
  • Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the cheese mixture from the oven and begin to stir in the heavy cream. Once the sauce is creamy and smooth, add the cooked pasta.
  • Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
  • Top with grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, arugula and a few turns of cracked black pepper.
  • Serve hot!
